British investigators have recovered a body from the wreckage of the plane carrying Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala in the Channel.

The light aircraft carrying the 28-year-old footballer and pilot David Ibbotson to his new Premier League team Cardiff City disappeared near the island of Guernsey on January 21.

"In challenging conditions, the AAIB and its specialist contractors successfully recovered the body previously seen amidst the wreckage," the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said on Wednesday.

"The operation was carried out in as dignified a way as possible and the families were kept informed of progress."
